FsusF
My first day of recess
BbF
They all laughed at me
Am
When I fell off the swing set
Bb
And scraped up my knee.
FsusF
The nurse called my mama
BbF
To say I'd be late
Am
And when she gave me the phone
BbC
I could hear mama say,
BbF/A
I'm so sorry, son
CBb
Oh I think you're so brave
F/ABb Csus, C
And she was smiling when she said
Chorus:
F
When you come home
C
No matter how far
DmCBb Csus, C
Run through the door and into my arms
F
It's where you are loved
C
It's where you belong
Dm - C - Bb
And I will be here
CFsus - F - Bb - Bb minor
When you come home
Verse Two:
FsusF
I waved good-bye through the window
BbF
As I boarded the plane
AmBb
My first job in Houston was waiting for me
FsusF
I found a letter from mama
BbF
Tucked in my coat
Am
And as I flew down the runway
BbC
I smiled when she wrote
BbF/A
I miss you son
CBb
You'll be so far away
F/ABb - Csus, C
But I'll be waiting for the day
(Chorus)
FsusF
Well I don't think she can hear you now
FsusF
The doctor told me.
Am
Your mother is fading
Bb
It's best that you leave
FsusF
So I whispered I love you
FsusF
And then turned away
Am
But I stopped at the door
BbC
When I heard mama say
BbF/A
I love you son
CBb
But they're callin' me away
F/ADbsus - Csus, C
Promise me before I go
(Chorus)
